There’s something about a classic rope and stanchion set that conveys a sense of opulence and exclusivity. Society and the media have affiliated the two with the promotion of these products at red carpet events and awards ceremonies that feature celebrities. You can use the same traditional red velour velvet belts or others to create the same feeling of luxury among your customers and visitors.
Stanchions and Post Top Finials
When deciding on the type of message you want to convey to your crowd, you should consider the stanchion’s finish and post top finial. Most posts and base covers are made of stainless steel and often have either set in mirror or gold finishes.
The three most commonly provided finials are the ball, taper, and flat top options, which have their distinct style and appeal. A ball top, which consists of a polished sphere set atop the post, is considered the most elegant. A tapered top, which features a rounded trapezoid shaped finial, is widely believed to be the middle ground between the luxurious ball top and simple flat top. Last is the flat top, a simplistic yet sleek design that doesn’t sacrifice elegance.
Ropes
The most critical design choice to consider is the type of rope you’ll be using. Available in a variety of lengths and colors, these elegant and durable ropes are sure to provide your guests with feelings of comfort and grandeur.
Velour
Widely considered the crème de la crème, velour ropes are prominently featured along the sides of high-end events and places, such as the Hollywood red carpet and five-star hotels. These ropes, which are made from soft and durable cotton covered with prime velour, have a timeless and lavish look and appeal.
Naugahyde
If you want to go for a more traditional look, there’s nothing better to use than Naugahyde ropes. These ropes are made to look like leather and are often used in places looking to provide their customers with a more relaxed, laid-back feeling, such as lounges.
Braided Nylon/Rayon
Braided ropes are made from either nylon or rayon and form intricate patterns to provide a delicate touch and feel. They’re best used for establishments that require a more professional and elegant environment, like churches and casinos.
Twisted Polypropylene
Since it’s made to withstand less than perfect weather conditions, twisted polypropylene is ideal for exterior use. Its lightweight and UV-resistant qualities make it an incredibly durable rope that will last for years to come.
